THE MISSING AD MYSTERY - OR, WHEN ADS ARE 'SUBTRACTED'...



Sharp-eyed readers who bought the recent BATMAN and HOUSE Of SECRETS Facsimile Editions, may have noticed that, on the ad page on the inside back cover, at the top far right (from the readers' pov) there was an empty space.  (Above is the page as originally published.)  I'm not quite sure why DC decided to delete one of the ads so many years after the fact, especially as none of them are likely to be valid any more, but such retroactive editing irks me somewhat.  After all, a facsimile should be a true facsimile, not a partial one.  In case you bought the mags and wondered what the blank space was about, that's the missing ad below in close-up.


What's your opinion on this, readers?  Couldn't give a stuffed monkey (might even be one in the ads), or do you think the ad should've been left in?  Rant, rave, and rage (or just leave a polite response) in our ever-lovin' comments section.
